Clinical significance of lung cross‐sectional area measured by computed tomography in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: The correlation with pulmonary hemodynamics and the limitations

Abstract The percentage cross‐sectional area of the lung under five (%CSA<5) is the percentage of pulmonary vessels with <5 mm2 area relative to the total lung area on computed tomography (CT). The extent that %CSA<5 is related to pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with chronic thromboembol...
